América Renews Ramón Juárez’s Contract Until 2029 as Fans Seek His Starting Position

Club América has renewed the contract of center back Ramón Juárez until 2029, ensuring the future of this talented academy graduate, as reported by Mediotiempo. This new deal keeps him with the club for four more years, supporting América’s focus on nurturing homegrown players.

Juárez played a key role in the team’s recent three championships, stepping up after Igor Lichnovsky was injured during the Apertura 2024 playoffs. His strong performances caught attention, but since Lichnovsky’s return, head coach André Jardine has favored the pairing of Lichnovsky and Sebastián Cáceres, which has limited Juárez’s playing time.

Even with fewer opportunities, Juárez has consistently shown solid performances when he plays. Following the announcement of his contract extension, América fans took to social media to advocate for his starting role over Lichnovsky, who they feel is less reliable after his injury.

This contract extension not only confirms Juárez’s position in the team but also heightens discussions about América’s defensive lineup. Fans view him as a key part of the club’s identity, and with his contract secured, there is increased pressure on Jardine to rethink his defensive strategy.
